My first day at ARCC

My first day at ARCC was full of nervousness and new experiences. My first day was last year at the start of the spring semester. I was 16 years old and I was just starting my first semester as a PSEO student. I was homeschooled all my life prior to attending ARCC, so I was probably more nervous than normal. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I knew it was going to be different than anything I had ever done before.

I arrived a few minutes early just in case I had trouble finding my classes, but I wasn't quite expecting it to take as long as it did. I kept getting mixed up about the room numbers so I ended up walking into class a few minutes late. I didn't know anyone; I felt kind of out of place at first.

The first thing we did in all my classes was as a class we went over the syllabus. To be honest, the syllabus slightly scared me because it seemed to make all my classes sound really hard. I felt a little uncomfortable during my entire first day, but I suppose it was only because I was so nervous. As my first couple weeks went by I gradually was able to get into the flow of things and my nervousness seemed to diminish more and more.
